It’s that time of year again: whether you’ve noticed the seemingly unremitting onslaught of computer commercials, or have endured your middle-schooler’s incessant pleas for a new smart phone, there’s no denying that the “back to school” excitement has arrived, and if there’s one thing you can’t avoid during the late-summer school hype, it’s the constant reminder that, these days, you can’t do education without a big heaping dose of technology. But why do we so strongly associate education with technology?

The modern business landscape necessitates a technologically adept workforce. Undoubtedly, advanced technological know-how starts in the classroom. In order to extract the most value from their student-utilized IT investments, schools are increasingly turning to internal technology initiatives to better meet and understand their students’ needs. This begins with strengthening their infrastructure and process management and analysis techniques.

Metastorm’s market-leading software for enterprise and business architecture (EA), business process analysis (BPA), and business process management (BPM) can enable schools to better understand and address the needs of key stakeholders: students, teachers, parents and administrators.

Metastorm Enterprise, our integrated product suite of BPM, BPA, and EA can help schools regulate, automate, and perfect essential procedures like human resource management, budget and purchasing requests, supply requisitions, and facilities management all on a single platform—enabling the enterprise to run fluidly and efficiently. This eliminates costs associated with squandered resources, time-loss and other unnecessary overhead from redundant manual data entry, inconsistency across systems and departments, and general process imperfection.

Learn how a high school in Chicago used Metastorm BPM® to enhance its student services and achieve greater efficiency in its enterprise, and how a university in South Africa used BPM to automate and enhance its Student Study Guide Production process.

Metastorm, however, does more in the classroom than align strategy with execution— one business school in Pennsylvania is incorporating the Metastorm software as part of its master’s program curriculum, while a technological university in Detroit is using Metastorm software in its Management of Information Technology dissertation program.

As we start up yet another school year, let’s not forget the importance of innovative technology solutions that enhance both the technological understanding and the overall education experience of today’s scholars.

After all, the students of today are the workers of tomorrow.
